The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, checking in on the Jaconé stretch.
Things are quiet to start, but from Wednesday the 15th, we’ve got a good run of clean waves coming through. Water temp is about 72°, which is normal for the season.
The first real standout is Wednesday morning, July 15th. You’re looking at a clean 6ft swell from the SSE, 10-second period, with a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE. That’s proper surfing. The energy is moderate (715), so there’s some push.
Second week brings more. Saturday the 18th morning has a 6ft swell from the ENE, but it’s short period at 7 seconds, so a bit bumpy. Still clean with light cross-offshore wind. Energy is moderate (542).
Now, the real highlight is way out there. Monday, July 27th morning – glassy conditions, a 5ft swell from the S, 8-second period, 578 energy. Clean and powerful. Then Tuesday the 28th morning is even better: 4ft from the S, but a 12-second period and a solid offshore from the NE. That’s groundswell, with 564 energy. Wednesday the 29th morning is the best of the lot: 5ft from the S, 12-second period, clean offshore from the NNE, and a strong 853 energy value. That’s the most powerful, cleanest swell of the whole run. This is for experienced surfers only – with that size, period, and energy, it’s a serious session.
In between, like the 17th, 19th, and 20th, you’ll find clean, smaller waves from 3ft to 5ft, perfect for a funboard. Light winds keep it tidy.
There’s a flat spell from the 21st to the 26th. Small, weak surf and some poor onshore days. The 23rd has a glassy morning but only 2ft – don’t bother.
Jaconé is a consistent, intermediate-level break. It’s exposed to the swell, and the best direction is SE, so the bigger S swells will wrap in well. Crowds can happen sometimes, so get out early.
Rusty.

Information about the Jaconé Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jaconé provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jaconé can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jaconé surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Jaconé) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Jaconé may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Jacone is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Saquarema. If you plan a holiday in Rio de Janeiro, look for hotels and other accommodation in Saquarema. Saquarema has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
